nto sure abou that specifically, but usually reliablity depends upon the tune and quality of parts and how you build it.

it's all in the tune... a buddy of mine ran 286 whp on stock internal y7 for a year... he has since dropped the boost and only makes 202 now he's going strong 2 1/2 years so it's all in the tune i believe

no...it wont be reliable at all. with a mini-me, your compression ratio is alot higher than stock. thats why they are so popular.....they jump from around 8.5:1 to about 10.5:1 and sometimes even higher. once you turbo that, bye-bye reliability. you could if you want....but if it was me i would stay away from that. good luck and keep us updated.

higher than stock compression and boost can STILL BE RELIABLE. You just need to think and be reasonable. You will probably be sticking w/ a smaller turbo and low boost. Similar specs they'd be supplying you with in a Greddy turbo kit for example. not to mention a good tune
